Beacon 23 Season Two Trailer Tees Up First Contact

We're heading back to the space lighthouse for more, uh, conflicting agendas...?

Stephan James as Halan in Beacon 23.

MGM+ is bringing us more episodes of Beacon 23, the sci-fi series based on the eponymous book by Hugh Howey that centers on events that take place on the equivalent of a space lighthouse. The first season premiered in November, and we’ve got good news for those who enjoyed it: Season two will premiere in mere weeks. And to get us revved up for it, MGM+ released a trailer today that’s high on tension. It also teases an alien presence (which we were introduced to in season one) that’s apparently “ready to receive us.” I’m sure everything will be totally fine when they do!

Here’s the official synopsis for the upcoming episodes:

Beacon 23 takes place in the farthest reaches of the Milky Way and Season One followed Aster (Lena Headey), a government agent, and Halan (Stephan James), a stoic ex-military man, whose fates became entangled after they found themselves trapped together inside one of many Beacons that served as a lighthouse for intergalactic travelers. In Season Two, Beacon 23 is now little more than a prison with Aleph onboard, and The Artifact provides more questions than answers. Without a clear path forward, the inhabitants of Beacon 23 must rely on each other, but their conflicting agendas may get in the way.

In addition to Headey and James, the series stars Natasha Mumba (The Last of Us), and Ellen Wong (GLOW). 

The second season of Beacon 23 premieres on MGM+ on April 7, 2024. Check out the trailer below. icon-paragraph-end
